Doggy Day Care in Kost

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was kid. In my younger years I would dog sit at peoples houses, in the last few years I would watch friends and families dogs. I have had everything everything from a potty training puppy to a senior dog. I work full time at home. I have kids ranging from 12-16 who love and respect animals. I do run kids to practice in the evenings and such but someone is home at all times. I have a fenced in yard that I look out from my desk. My work is flexible for me to be able to let your dog out as needed.

About: Since I was 6 years old my family had dogs and cats as pets. All the dogs we had we got as puppies so I handled the potty training, taught tricks and the main obedience training like sit and stay. I've watched family and friends dogs which also included days/nights at a time like when they were out of town working. I have watched and been with tiny dogs to giant dogs. I'm a stay at home mom at the moment so I have plenty of time to care for your pet pretty much at anytime day or night. I have a fenced yard so easy to let in and out as needed, big area take out or let out to play. My house is pretty open with area for them to roam or find good spot to just relax. I have never crated any of my animals but if needed or wanted obviously I could do that. If you have a special diet for your dog I would follow that for you also. My kids and I also love to go on walks and would love your dog to join. I do have three very young kids so your dog must get along with children. My kids love animals, they were very sad after losing our last dog so they'd be very excited to play with others. I currently have a cat, she'll most likely hide and if needed can be in a seperate area in the house.

About: I’ve had pets in my life since I was a child. When married and had kids, we’ve always had dogs and have cared for our dogs in every aspect, walking, bathing, grooming, vet care, etc. Currently we don’t have a pet, but our house is a perfect set up to take care of yours. Currently we are retired. We would have plenty of time to go for walks, play and relax. Our dogs in the past have used our very convenient doggy door into a fenced area for potty breaks. Your dog will be treated like one of our own, getting lots of love and attention during the day and can sleep overnight in a doggy bed or crate whichever is preferred.

“Amanda watched my dog on a few hours notice for our wedding, and it was such a relief that he was in good care! She was so flexible and easygoing and our dog definitely had a blast!”

“Our pups enjoyed their first trip to Candace’s! They came home happy and tired. Our one pup who is fearful and has anxiety did amazing. We look forward to booking Candace again!”

About: I’m a country gal raised with a passion for animals! I have horses of my own as well as boarders, a dog, cat and chickens. I’ve had my own tiny farm for the last 5+ years, but I’ve been caring for animals since long before that. My husband, kids & I will provide your dog with lots of love and attention while you are away! I work from home (all but 2 days per month), so I am happy to provide care any day of the week. Your dog would have free access of our dog room with a doggy door to our potty patch. If your dog needs to be crated we can discuss the frequency of potty breaks and work to accommodate your dogs needs. I have 28 acres for your dog to run and play on. I have my own dog and many other furry friends to entertain your dog for endless hours of fun! I can easily crate your dog, if needed.

“Hannah was great with our puppy! Sent photos shortly after I left l, which put my mind at ease since this was the first time bringing him there. He seemed to love her and his time there! Will definitely use her again! She was also flexible with my pickup time as it shifted due to work. Thank you Hannah!”

About: Hi! Im Kerri! I grew up on a farm and we had cats, dogs, and bunny rabbits. I have always love animals and have a LOT of experience caring for them. I will love and care for your dog just as you would so you can enjoy your time away without any worry. I have experience with older animals, I know animal CPR, I can administer medication or ear drops and anything else your dog may need. I will send you updates and send pictures while you are gone so you can see the fun they are having! I have 3 kids at home who are great with animals so your dog will get lots of cuddles and play time. I would love to care for your pet while you are away :) My husband and I alternate days working at home so someone will always be home to take care of your pet. I will follow the schedule that your dog is accustomed to so that they can feel comfortable in their new home away from home while you are away. I treat each dog like family and let them pick where they are comfortable sleeping and relaxing unless otherwise specified by you. We are in a convenient location just a mile off of highway 35 which make drop of and pick up easy. I will take your dog for a couple walks a day on leashes and they will be secure in the house unless taken outside on a leash. I will abide by your instruction left for your dog. Please let me know if you have any special request and I will make that happen!

About: We are experienced dog fosters and have hosted many dogs. We have been fortunate to love many dog breeds and hope to provide yours with a fun, loving adventure. I work remote and I am able to be available during the day. Our weekends are also at home so we can provide dogs with lots of attention. We have a fenced yard in a quiet suburban neighborhood near a lake. Our house is one level, making it easy for mobility issues. We have 2 dogs that love to make new friends.

About: Hello! Pauli and Dom here. We have a large property and lots of room for pups to run. We have a dedicated ~2 acres of fully fenced in yard space for our dogs and dogs that are visiting. We have decades of experience in dog training and care. We used to board every dog and lots of them. Now we have a family and our kids are involved in the care. We are selective and only take dogs that are a good fit for our family at this time. We have dogs and cats inside our home. We both work but generally we are working from home nearly every day and someone is always home. This allows us to be flexible regarding scheduling for the dogs and for pick up and drop off. Dogs will be crated overnight and when not under our direct supervision. Looking forward to meeting you and your pup! We live on a small farm and are basically always home. We both generally work from home and can be flexible to the dogs’ needs. We have a fenced in area outside and an extra room for our visiting dogs. Dogs may have the run of the house under supervision if well behaved, although most dogs tend to want to be outside playing.

About: I provide a safe and comfortable environment pets, dogs deserve so much respect and love and I’m willing to give them so much attention! I also love the outdoors so I would love having a little walking partner. My dogs have been through training and therefore I am aware of the do’s and donts of proper training. I have ONE lab at home, she is a female 1 y/o lab. I currently work from home Wednesday - Friday. I work in the office Monday and Tuesday. This is subject to change week to week as my schedule varies. I use my back yard which has a leash hooked to the deck. Half of my yard is fenced in. I am open to using a shocker as well, we use one on our pup and strictly use the tone button which just sounds like a beep.

“Lisa communicates very well and took great care of my pups”

About: I can care for any type of animal you can think of. Let me know the animal and I will help you out! I have taken care of exotic pets to farm pets. I work a part time job so I have a lot of free time to hang out and take care of the animals I am sitting. Your animal will not be left alone for more then 2 hours at a time. I will care for your animal as close as I can as you do yourself. Your animal will feel at home and loved and cared for.

About: I just recently had to put my 14.5 year old Yorkie Poo to rest. I miss having a buddy at my house but not ready to take on another animal full time yet. I supported my dog through pancreatitis, congestive heart failure and other health considerations. We had him since he was a couple months old until his golden years. I have watched other family members, friends and neighbor’s dogs and always treat them like my own! I currently work from home as a Master’s level Social Worker and have very flexible hours. My children are at school during the day and in summer care during the summer months. The pet would be with me with most of the time, outside of errands. *Please reach out in a message regarding availability! My availability changes and I would like to give you the most up to date information! Thank you!* I currently do not have any animals in the house. I can take the dog on walks and out to use the restroom throughout the day as I do not have a fenced in yard. I have a large yard if your dog can be trusted off leash with supervision. I love to have dogs snuggle, so they are just like any other family member, allowed on the furniture. I will be home to either schedule feed, have the graze eat or kennel as requested.

About: My background and pet care experience: Hi, my name is Abby and I am 27 years old. I graduated from Clemson University in May of 2022 University with a BS in Animal and Veterinary Sciences. I am currently going back to school to get some pre-requisite courses I need to apply for my masters. I am only taking 7 credit hours so I will have quite a bit of flexibility in my schedule when I’m not in classes. I have a passion for helping and taking care of animals. I've worked in the veterinary medicine field since I was 15 and have a ton of animal experience. I also have worked at an emergency veterinary clinic before so I know how to handle any pet related emergency. I have companion animals experience are well as exotic pet experience :) I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies! Please don't hesitate to contact me anytime with any questions about my services or availability. Thanks! *For house sitting requests, I am not available to stay in people’s home full-time. I have a part time job and have a dog and two cats that rely on my care as well :) but I would be available to stop in your home 3-4 times a day, depending on my work schedule.* My schedule: I am going to school part time and have quite a bit of flexibility in my schedule. Please reach out to me with questions regarding my availability! I have been a rover pet sitter for years now and all my reviews are 5/5 stars. I also have many years of veterinary experience and am very comfortable giving injectable or oral medications to your fur babies. I love all animals and am not intimidated by looking after more exotic pets as well! I love all walks of life when it comes to pets you may have! Thank you so much for considering me for looking after your fur babies!

About: I have done everything from doing daily chores on hobby farms to dropping in and walking dogs while gone for the day. I board my horse so I understand the quality of animal care you desire but also the level of communication you like to receive. I am more than willing to take pictures of your animals and send updates throughout. I used to do house visits but now have a house and prefer to do boarding. I’ve had multiple friends and family have their dogs stay with me. I have large dog runs and a fenced in back yard. A few personal notes are I do not do reptiles. I like to plan ahead. There will be someone working remotely each day during your dog(s) stay to let them out and hang out with them each day. Please provide two days or more notice prior to a stay. Dogs will get quite a bit of outside time in a fenced in area where they can run, play, and get some sun in. There’s quite a bit of space for running.

“Holly’s first time in someone else’s care went well. Thanks to Danielle in noticing Holly’s specific needs. Holly loves her little gifts she got especially the squeak toy. The texts and photo were great to know she was doing okay while we were away.”
